“I ventured out yesterday for the first time since I had Mia,” she began the lengthy caption.

“Granted it was only a 10 min trip with Gorks while Mia was asleep at home with Nana but I cannot tell you how good it felt!”

She continued: “My midwife & health visitor advised me to take a walk if I could as it’s good for mental health in new mums.

“I’ve had a pap sat in a car on my street ever since I gave birth, I know they have a job to do, but I explained to the health visitor that it was kinda putting me off leaving my house (He followed us and got his pics though so that’s that over and done with at least).”

After documenting the very quick Starbucks trip to her Instagram account, Gemma revealed she was soon inundated with other mums’ opinions.

“Being a new mum can be a little overwhelming and you can never win with your choices,” she said.

“I’ve had the ‘how could you leave her so young’ messages and also the ‘good for you for getting out’ messages.

“I’ve been in my garden in the sun loads but it was still nice to actually see other human beings!”

Gemma said she appreciated the time alone with Gorka and said it’s been “tough” for them as the dancer has been busy touring the UK on the Here Comes The Boys show.

“It was also nice to have some time alone with Gorks,” the new-mum divulged. “I’m fully aware guys can feel a little left out or on the sidelines when baby arrives because as a mum your priorities shift.”

“He’s been SO great with everything and it’s been tough for him being on the road,” she said.
